Happy weekend everyone, this is Terra with today's Saturday School post. One of the areas I have been struggling in recently is creating good title work for my layouts. I often leave the title work until the very end when working on a layout because I find it one of the most time consuming aspects of any page. The title work can definitely make or break a page and I have spent the past week looking for new inspiration.

One of the obvious sources of inspiration is to browse through various digiscrap galleries to learn from some of the best. While I was browsing through Jennifer's gallery at The Digi Chick I came across some really amazing title work. Look what I found!

Another place I like to look for title work is magazines as they contain so much inspiration. Not only are the article titles inspiring, but advertisements contain a wealth of inspiration as well. I love to look at all of the different font combinations on the pages and pay special attention to the pages that jump out at me the most.

A recent source of inspiration is Pinterest. I could easily get lost for hours browsing this site where users can post collections of things that they love and follow collections created by others from around the world. It is full of amazing inspiration. These are some of the images that are inspiring my title work.

Before I go I want to let you know about an amazing charity collaboration, Brighter Days Ahead, available now at Sweet Shoppe Designs. All proceeds go to Zoe Pearn, one of SSD's amazing designers who lost her home in the Queensland floods. Jennifer was a contributor to this gorgeous collab and it is definitely a must have.
